Lookout for stolen gear!

RED ALERT!  RED ALERT!  
Criminals are out there and they have a plethora of musicians to sell stolen gear to.  Here's a rule that my bands never break:  Never leave the gear alone.  Criminals often use lookouts, and so should we.  Any friend of the band that wants to help out can do it.  Sometimes friends want to help with the load in or out, but it's always more helpful to just watch the gear while we move it.  Another good tip is to get all your model/serial numbers in order and email them to yourself. 

Back in the days of the original Redrum Club on 6th street, I had half of my wireless unit taken from the back room.  A year later, I found the transmitter in an EZ Pawn and had to buy it back.  I knew it was mine because it was missing the transmitter that I was still in possession of.

I'll be on the lookout with my trusty digital camera.  Some of these items are pretty unique so be on the lookout and if you see anything from the following list, comment or email me and I'll get the information to the right people.  Thanks.
